Ok. So maybe ftp-masters shouldn't accept NEW packages, but accept new binary packages (from existing source). This would allow me to close some "unfortunatelly" non-critical bugs, and improve overall sarge quality. I'm sure that I'm not the only one waiting for approval of splitted packages. This way we're back to the NEW queue discussion and some automatic checks for packages which only incorporate new binary ones. regards fEnIo -- ,''`.
